Wow, that sounds harrowing. Was this before or after the terrorist attacks of 9/11?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

That trip was in 1998. I've done many more before and after to various countries, but that was the most interesting.
Also, on the way back, we stopped in Guatemala. Sat on the tarmac for 3 hours, was not allowed to disembark, and was searched by the military with semi-automatic rifles. Apparently, baby smuggling was a real problem there.
Lots more happened on that trip, but that is for another time.

Tell your colleague he gets bonus points for telling customs it is a flux capacitor, and he is going back to the future. Triple points for having the blueprints back him up.

Not quite the same, but a number of years ago I was couriering a classified hard drive with me on a TDY, heading to the west coast from Florida. I got to DFW and my flight was cancelled and it wasn't looking good to get on a flight out of DFW that day. I explained my situation to the airline folks and the massive hoops I would have to jump through to secure my classified package if I were stuck overnight. I don't recall the specifics, but do remember they bent over backwards to get me on a flight that day.

Hopefully getting paid a LOT more than what it actually took to make it.

I don't think so. It's been in development for a year, with multiple people working on it. 10s of thousands in board layout/verification alone, when you count designing the previous revisions

Well myself there are a number of countries I will not go to unless there is substantial amounts of money going into my pocket. And Serbia is one of those.

Your VPN blocks the link to the nerdle website?
I am using VPN and it doesn't seem to mind.
But not all VPN's are created equal.

I am curious if anyone here in the Lounge is actively working with anything mentioned in the Subject line(full-time employed or hobby), and if so, what tool sets/frameworks/languages are you using?
I actually have not even considered or thought about wading into these waters until a few days ago. I know there is ML.Net with VS 2022 and was going to look at that, but interested in what others are using and/or doing.
Excluding Code Project AI work.
Thanks.

slack, I was about to dive into this, but my dying customer told me I was late, get to work, here's green stuff
Honestly, I need to take time to ask myself how would you use 'AI'. I can see applications for monitoring things, but then what?

Skip that part and go directly to "how AI will use you." That is, after all, the future.

I'm using Azure Forms Recognizer to, well, recognize forms.
Not long ago, a client was typing over those forms every week.
Now, I do that for them.
Trained the model, invoke it from my C# code and what was once two hours of work is now five seconds of work.

That would make an interesting article Sander

I actually wrote a (sponsored) article on using Form Recognizer.
It uses a pre-built model rather than a custom model, so it's not quite as I describe here, but if you're interested you might want to give it a read: Use Fusion Development to Level Up AI Apps Part 2: Integrating with Form Recognizer[^]
It's a short article and it's part of a series about "fusion development" (no-code + code) which uses Power Apps and Dataverse.
